Thanks for the chart. Given that interest is already a significant cost (looking at the chart), it’ll be a real shock to the system if it were to double! It’s no wonder Bernanke is doing everything he can to keep it near zero.
Agree. And as bad as that chart is, it’s not clear whether the chart takes interest rate into account. A rising interest rate may make this much worse. At any rate, at least it indicates an exponential function, something that too few folks understand.
